~Vic’s P.O.V~

"Holly shit! Can you believe it boys; in less than 4 hours we'll be playing our own music in front of an actual crowd...it’s what we've always dreamed of!" I said excitedly as I pulled on my dress shirt, the boys and I were all in the midst of getting ready for our gig, we had just finished practising and were now getting dressed. We had dropped Hayley home so she could get dressed and would meet us at the venue along with Lauren, Frenchi and Dylan.

"Hmmm what if I forget all my solos...oh god what if I forget how to play a guitar. What are frets? What is standard tuning?!?! VIC!!" Tony complained, staring at me breathing heavily, I gave him a tight slap across the face.

"Turtle! Snap out of it! Pull it together dude, you'll be fine! You killed it in rehearsals and you've been playing guitar for ages! Okay, so just breath you’re even making me nervous...” I said looking him dead in the eye, he nodded slowly taking deep breathes.

"Yeah dude calm down, everything will be fine. Mexican power!" Jaime yelled, we all cheered and high fived. Soon my phone buzzed, I smiled as I looked down at my phone to see Hayley's name come up on my screen.

"Hey beautiful."

"V-Vic, heey"

"You okay you sound a little distressed..."

"I'm fine, uhhh just wishing you good luck tonight and I want you to know I love you."

"I love you too; I'll see you tonight yeah?"

"Bye Vic." She said not even answering my question, the phone clicked off and I stood still for a moment a little confused.

"Everything okay bro?" Mike asked putting his arm around me.

"Uhhh yeah I think...”

"Was that Hayley? Is she okay?" He asked with pure concern all over his face, I knew even though he had moved on he still loved Hayley dearly.

"She's fine, just a little...i don't know I'll talk to her tonight." I check my watch 4.00 shit we had to be in the venue at 4:45 for sound checks and stuff.

"Shit guys we got to start loading our gear in the car, c'mon" I said shaking out my negative thoughts, Hayley would be fine, we'd play an amazing show and she'd come running into my arms afterwards. We put all our things in Jaime’s van and by 4:30 we were off on the road, to chase our dreams.

~~Dylan’s P.O.V~~~

I looked over my outfit in the mirror, vans, jeans and a dress shirt yupp I was all set to go. Ahhh I can’t wait for the gig it's going to be so amazing! Suddenly my phone buzzed.

*Jaime* Hey, you still up for tonight bud??

*Dylan* hell yer boii! cn't w8 to see you guy perform. Afterwards I’ll help you pick up chicks; P

*Jaime* hell yeah! Jaime and Dylan gonna fuck shit up tonight! c ya then.

I smiled down at my phone, it was nice to have a guy friend around, I mean yes I loved Hayley, she was practically everything to me but hey every now and then a guy needs to hang out with other guys. I didn't have many friends because I was gay and guys thought I would like fall in love with them....dumbasses. But Jaime was different, I mean yeah he was really cute but I didn't think of him like that, we were friends and I wanted nothing more than that.

~~~Hayley's P.O.V~~~

*earlier that day*

I sat in the van with Vic and Tony, we were on the way to my house they were going to drop me home so I could get changed and then I would meet them at the gig. Tony pulled the Van into the drive way and I hopped out with Vic hand in hand.

"Tony do you want to come in and have something to drink?" I offered.

"Naah, I'll stay in the van. Vic hurry we have to rehearse when we get home." Tony smiled and Vic nodded as he walked me into my house.

 "I'm so proud of you..." I smiled at him pulling him into my arms.

"Thanks...You have no clue how much you mean to me, Hayley I love you." He kissed my lips lightly a sweet little kiss that sent shivers down my spine.

"You better get going rock star..." I giggled and kissed his cheek.

"See you tonight babe, I love you." He said as he left closing the door behind him.

 I smiled idiotically down at my feet, I was so lucky. After everything we've been through things were finally starting to fall into place. Finally.

 I walked into my room and shuffled through my wardrobe, whatever was I going to wear?! I mixed and matched and poured out half my wardrobe till I finally managed to pull out a cute little black dress, black heels and a few accessories to go. I grabbed my clothes and towel and head to the shower. I stripped down and ran the hot water, letting it splash onto my hand before I fully stepped into the water.

Its warmth splashed against my skin, ooh I didn't realise how much I needed a nice hot shower, at the boys' house it was almost impossible to get hot water with all of them taking so long in the damn bathroom. I sang softly to myself as I washed my body suddenly my sweet blissful shower was interrupted when I heard a noise out.

 "Hello?" I stuck my head out of the shower looked around the bathroom...hmm nothing there, that’s strange.

 I must be hearing things, I shrugged and continued to shower when I heard it again, I turned the taps off and the water stopped running. I slowly reached out for my towel, wrapping it around me and stepping cautiously out of the shower. I quickly dried off, slipped into my underwear and threw on an old shirt, the whole time I heard footsteps. I Walked out of the bathroom down the hall and into the lounge...no one was there.

"Vic?! Is that you? Tony?!" I called out but nothing, I looked out my window to see a strange red car park outside, hmm probably the neighbour’s new car or something. Suddenly I felt a pair of hands grabbed me from behind, I kicked and screamed but the person had a tight grip on me, they placed a cloth over my mouth and I let out one last muffled scream when suddenly everything went blank.

*1 hour later*

Ughh, my head throbbed with pain. I tried to lift my hand to my head but it was tied back, both my hands were bound and so were my feet. I opened my eyes blinking rapidly as the harsh light of a single light bulb hit my eyes. I was tied down to a wooden chair.

"Ughhh, wh-where am I??" I groaned hoping someone would hear me; my voice was raspy from screaming.

"Oh Hayley....good to see you're awake." Her high pitch girly voice came into my ears, my head shot up, I looked around the room but I couldn't see anything as it was too dark, suddenly her petite figure emerged from the shadows...June.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing?" I said struggling to untie my wrists which only caused me to bruise and gash my wrists.

"It's called revenge Hayley. Look it up. Now I'm going to let you have one last phone call to Vic, you know just to say you're final goodbye, but if you tell him about where you are....then I think my friend here will have to take a dive....into your heart."

She paced over to me, tracing the blade of a kitchen knife with her finger. She put the knife down and took out a phone and quickly dialled in a number, she then violently pressed the phone to my ear and I heard Vic’s voice beam through the other end.

"Hey beautiful."

"V-Vic, heey" I tried my best to keep my voice steady.

"You okay you sound a little distressed..."

"I'm fine, uhhh just wishing you good luck tonight and I want you to know I love you."

"I love you too; I'll see you tonight yeah?"

"Bye Vic." No, he wouldn't see me tonight...he probably would never see me ever again...just when I thought things were goings so great...
